Arrest the moron and charge him. Dale doesn’t seem too bright to even contemplate putting his hands on the protestor. Sadly, his behaviour will give impetus to those who call some of us ‘aggressive’ gays. What an idiot.

As for Dale, he had no business getting involved. If it was a Tory demonstrating would he have intervened? Not so sure. None of his business. The dog was funny though. It seemed to be attacking the owner.

Tell you what, Iain, next time you want to bust the ‘gay men are wimps’ myth-which it is, because gay men have to endure things which make them tougher than straight men, pick on somebody your own size and not some weak old guy.
